About Legacybox
We help families preserve the things that only exist once.
From VHS tapes and film reels to printed photos, negatives, slides, DVDs, camcorder cassettes, memory cards, and phones, we digitize the media that matters most so families can revisit and share those moments for generations to come.
But we believe the future of Legacybox is much larger than digitization alone.
We are building a long‑term family memory platform designed to help families preserve, organize, explore, and share their history together.
We are not in the digitization business. We are in the irreplaceable business.
The Role
We are hiring a Senior Mobile & TV Platform Engineer to help transform Legacybox from a web‑first product into a native, multi‑screen family memory experience.
This role sits at the intersection of product, engineering, platform architecture, video/media systems, and consumer experience.
You will lead the technical evolution of our customer experience across native iOS and companion TV platforms , helping families engage with their memories in the places where they naturally relive them: on their phones, on the couch, and together as a household.
That means helping us build and scale experiences across:
native iPhone and iPad apps
Apple TV (tvOS)
smart TV platforms (Roku, Android TV / Google TV, Fire TV, Samsung, or similar)
media playback and long‑form video experiences
photo browsing and memory viewing experiences
account, family, and multi‑user experiences
cross‑platform architecture and shared logic
performance‑sensitive playback, storage, and sync systems
This is not a traditional app maintenance role.
We are looking for someone who understands that our product is not just software. It is how families experience irreplaceable memories together.
What You’ll Do
Lead Native App Expansion
Help translate our web application into a best‑in‑class native iOS experience
Build and improve iPhone and iPad experiences that feel fast, intuitive, and deeply polished
Define where native experiences should differ from web, rather than simply replicating screens
Improve performance, offline resilience, responsiveness, and platform‑native behavior
Build TV & Living Room Experiences
Architect and launch companion TV applications across priority platforms
Create simple, elegant playback experiences for home videos, photos, and shared family memories
Design for lean‑back, remote‑first interaction patterns
Help make Legacybox a product families experience together, not just individually
Shape Cross‑Platform Architecture
Partner with engineering leadership on long‑term architecture decisions
Identify what should be shared across platforms vs. purpose‑built natively
Improve reliability around APIs, authentication, media handling, caching, and sync
Help establish scalable engineering patterns for mobile and TV products
Build Media‑Heavy Consumer Experiences
Improve long‑form video playback, chaptering, scrubbing, and discovery
Build rich photo and memory browsing experiences
Optimize performance for large media libraries and asset‑heavy experiences
Ensure speed, reliability, and polish across lower‑bandwidth or constrained environments
Raise Technical Standards
Partner closely with Product, Design, Backend, and Platform teams
Contribute to engineering culture, code quality, testing, and release rigor
Help us move fast without creating fragile systems
Raise the bar for craftsmanship across all customer‑facing software
What We’re Looking For
5+ years experience in iOS, mobile, connected‑device, or consumer platform engineering
Strong experience building native iOS applications using Swift and modern Apple frameworks
Experience shipping production‑grade apps to the App Store
Experience with video, media playback, streaming, or large asset‑heavy interfaces
Strong systems thinking around architecture, performance, and scalability
Comfort working across frontend, API integration, and product decisions
Ability to independently drive initiatives from concept through launch
High craftsmanship and strong attention to UX detail
Experience working in small, fast‑moving product teams
Nice to Have
Experience with tvOS, Roku, Android TV, Fire TV, or Smart TV ecosystems
Experience designing shared cross‑platform architectures
Familiarity with React‑based or web‑first products transitioning to native
Experience with media libraries, storage systems, sync, or offline‑first behavior
Experience with subscriptions, consumer SaaS, or DTC products
Familiarity with video chaptering, playback UX, or rich media browsing
What Success Looks Like
Legacybox launches a best‑in‑class native iOS experience
Families can enjoy memories naturally across phone, tablet, and TV
Media playback becomes faster, more stable, and more delightful
Large memory libraries feel responsive and easy to navigate
Engineering standards improve across mobile and customer‑facing architecture
The app becomes more central to the long‑term customer relationship
Legacybox evolves from a web product into a true multi‑platform family memory experience

Why Join Us
This is a rare opportunity to help define how families experience memory in the next era of Legacybox.
We believe preserving memories is only the first step. The bigger opportunity is helping families relive, organize, explore, and share those memories across devices, generations, and living spaces.
You will help shape the transition from a web‑first archive into a multi‑platform product where memories are experienced naturally on phones, tablets, and TVs.
That means solving meaningful technical challenges around media, scale, playback, architecture, and shared family experiences — all in service of something deeply human.
Work Environment
We embrace a flexible approach to work. Many of our team members are fully remote, and we value results, communication, and craftsmanship above location. We also take great pride in our hometown of Chattanooga and our facilities there, where millions of irreplaceable family memories are carefully handled, digitized, and preserved.
Whether working from home or visiting in person, you’ll be part of a team deeply rooted in quality, trust, and care. You’re always welcome in Chattanooga.
